A total of 204 Volunteer Service Awards were handed out in Owen Sound on Friday, June 15, with many Kincardine-area volunteers on the list.

These awards were given to Grey and Bruce recipients in appreciation for continued service in various organizations.

In total, they represented over 2,500 volunteer years and ranged from youth to a 50-year recipient. Along with the appropriate year pin, each recipient also received a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee commemorative pin.

This commemorative pin was created to mark the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's accession to the Throne as Queen of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth. It serves to honour significant contributions and achievements by Canadians and is part of the Jubilee year celebrations organized by the Government of Canada.
